"An excellently located ski in-ski out chalet right on the piste, the Pierce Neige is built in the traditional Savoir style, but with a modern cosy and light interior. An excellent choice for skiers wanting to experience the huge Portes du Solei ski area."

Chalet Violetta - Avoriaz, France

This attractive chalet has a superb location in Avoriaz. It sits right on the edge of the piste, perfect for the easiest possible morning start and for skiing directly back to the doorstep at the end of a day’s skiing.

A high standard of accommodation is offered throughout, with modern, light-pine bedrooms, and a bright and airy open-plan living area with French doors opening out onto a snow-terrace. The chalet also has its own private sauna.

The Violetta is a semi-detached chalet being an exact mirror image of the adjoining Perce Neige, with a shared main entrance to both properties and shared stairs to the lower floor,where each one has an allocated ski and boot room. Otherwise they are separate, and individually hosted and catered. Approximate Transfer time to resort: Geneva 1 hour 45 minutes

Meals - Chalet Violetta, Avoriaz

Food is a feature of any ski holiday and we set very high standards for our cuisine. Our Chalet Hosts will prepare and serve your meals as described here six days per week*.

BreakfastStart the day with a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself.

Afternoon TeaA delicious homemade cake accompanied by hot drinks will be laid out for you every day except on the staff’s one day off per week.

DinnerOur three-course dinner menus start with an glass of Prosecco followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, accompanied by a choice of complimentary wines, with coffee or tea to follow.

Vegetarian options are available if advised in advance. Other special dietary requirements must also be advised to us at the time of booking in order for your chalet hosts to be fully prepared and incur a charge of £35 per person per week, to cover the cost of additional ingredients. Failing to book special dietary requirements in advance can incur additional supplements in resort.

* On your Host’s one day off each week, they will leave a simpler continental breakfast out for you to help yourselves, there is no afternoon tea that day, and you can dine out locally in the evening. Your Resort Representative will gladly help out with information and make a reservation for you if you wish.

Children's High TeaWe serve a separate High Tea at 5:30pm for children aged 12 years and under with an appropriate menu and pureed food is available for infants on request. Parents must accompany their children at high tea. Unless children are part of an ‘exclusive use’ whole-chalet booking in chalets, it is not possible for children aged 12 years and under to eat at the adult sitting. When part of a 'exclusive use' whole-chalet booking children may eat with the adults for a supplement of £39 per child if they have received child discounts.

Well positioned chalet, you can put your skis on at the door and ski in and out — with a very small amount of pushing to get you back home. Food was excellent, very good quality, wide variety and plenty of it. Canapes always disappeared quickly! Rooms were clean and with good ensuites. Living area comfy but not massive. Heated boot room and sauna are a definite bonus (though a hot tub as well would have been nice).
Resort has a huge range of slopes — it's a bit of a slog to get over to the Morzine slopes and back, but there's plenty to keep you occupied over towards the Swiss side.
